Todd, those are beautiful animals.

I believe you are in the intergrade zone and that those are intergrades, although it looks like the holbrooki influence is stronger on the first speciman. The intergrade zone is narrower along the Gulf Coast than it is in the northern plains. That means that there is probably a mixture of habitats. You said splendida occupied the dunes. I would guess you'd find them in more desert-like habitats and holbrooki in more wooded and mesic habitats. That whole area is a mixing bowl for all sorts of species because it's the meshing of a couple large ecosystems. More later...
